C++ Modelling Engineer - Virtual Platforms

Members of the modelling team take hardware designs and specifications to build functional representations in software.

The modelling team within the Arm Central Engineering Software division enables customers to build and validate software for Arm IP‑based systems before silicon is available. As an IP modelling engineer, you will develop highly efficient C++ software models that play a key role in constructing full system models or virtual platform environments.

• Develop, test, and maintain high‑speed models for Arm's System Memory Management Unit (SMMU).
• Own and lead major system‑level design features and the testing of Arm IP in these models.
• Collaborate and influence across teams—architects, test engineers, and hardware engineers—to understand the IP and model it accurately in C++.
• Contribute to cutting‑edge designs through inter‑team discussions, presentations, and review of IP specification documents.
• Give feedback on hardware architectural designs based on experience gained on the modelling team.
• Write, review, debug, and test high‑quality modern C++ code.
• Possess a strong background in computer architecture and SoCs.
• Proactively drive change to continuously improve individual and team delivery, growth, and efficiency.
• Lead and direct work, driving the direction of projects.
• Maintain strong interpersonal skills while working with multiple teams across different time zones.
• Exhibit excellent written and spoken English.

• Experience with programmer view modelling or instruction‑level simulators (e.g., QEMU, Simics, Gem5, Virtualizer), knowledge of Arm IP, and/or Arm architecture.
• Experience developing IP/SoC virtual prototypes using C/C++/System
  
  C and an understanding of system‑level architecture concepts (e.g., SMMU, Virtualization, caching).
• Experience working on complex software projects with a large multi‑site team.
